Saying “I support a two-state solution” does not release you from your moral obligation to ferociously oppose a genocide backed by your own government.
Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):
Dear western liberal,
Saying “I support a two-state solution” does not release you from your moral obligation to ferociously oppose a genocide backed by your own government.
Saying “I oppose Netanyahu” does not release you from your moral obligation to ferociously oppose a genocide backed by your own government.
Saying you find the Gaza holocaust “heartbreaking” and “terrible” does not release you from your moral obligation to ferociously oppose a genocide backed by your own government.
Saying “I want there to be peace” does not release you from your moral obligation to ferociously oppose a genocide backed by your own government.
Saying you think “both sides” should cease their aggressions does not release you from your moral obligation to ferociously oppose a genocide backed by your own government.
Saying “it’s complicated and I don’t understand it” does not release you from your moral obligation to ferociously oppose a genocide backed by your own government.
Saying “Hamas attacked on October 7” does not release you from your moral obligation to ferociously oppose a genocide backed by your own government.
Saying “the Jews deserve a homeland” does not release you from your moral obligation to ferociously oppose a genocide backed by your own government.
Saying “I’m busy” does not release you from your moral obligation to ferociously oppose a genocide backed by your own government.
Saying “I’m overwhelmed” does not release you from your moral obligation to ferociously oppose a genocide backed by your own government.
We are all morally obligated to do everything we can to oppose a live-streamed genocide that’s being facilitated, supported and defended by the western power structure under which we live. Nothing besides tooth-and-claw ferocious opposition satisfies that moral obligation.
Don’t tell me about your feelings. Don’t tell me what political positions you support. Don’t tell me what thoughts you privately think to yourself. Do everything you can to stop the genocide that’s being facilitated by your government and its allies.
Nothing else qualifies. Nothing else is defensible. Nothing else will satisfy the questions you’ll be asked by younger generations about what you did during the Gaza holocaust.
